Scott Donaldson Quote
As Henry Dan Piper, one of Fitzgerald's most perceptive critics, has commented, his fiction heroes are destroyed because they attempt to fulfill themselves through their social relationships. They cannot distinguish between social values like popularity, charm, and success, and the more lasting moral values. Their creator did make that distinction, however, and so was constantly surrounding his characters with a mist of admiration and then blowing it away.
